VIZ. POwderly and the Executive Board
Approve the Measure.

Two local boycotts declared against two large
organizations OF manufacturers In Philadelphia
have just been extended by Mr.. Powderly and the
general executive board OF the Knights OF Labor.
They will have widespread effect on the business
of seventy five large firms-about forty prominent
brewers belonging 10 the Philadelphia Lager Beer
Brewers Association and thirty-flye large whole
sale clothing manufacturers embraced in the
Philadelphia Clothing Exchange. At the head
quarters of District Assembly No. 1 during the
past week q number OF men were address,
ing envelopes containing the boycott cir
cularS, to be sent all over the country.
The grievance OF the order against the brewers
is that the latter attempted TO reduce wages to
the scale OF year ago, and the grievance against
the clothing exchange is its action In locking out
the garment cutters because the men in TWO es-
Establishments struck. The circular gives a list OF
the firms to be affected and calls upon all men,
berS of the order to leave those firms severely
alone.
telegram from Philadelphia says: In June
last boycotting was vigorously denounced by
General Master workman Powderly, yet there
are a hundred-fOld more bOycottS now In opera
ton than ever before, and far greater liberty is
allowed in this direction to local and district
SemblieS than formerly. Manufacturers are be-
ginning to clamor loudly at the increase. Mr..
Powderly has radically changed his attitude to-
ward bOycOtting into advocacy MI. Carleton,
OF the general executive board, says: The
rule passed at the Cleveland convention,
prohibiting the exercise OF the boycott, is
not binding any more as permanent law. AT
the Richmond convention Ii was neither con-
frmed nor annulled, and IL now stands as dead
letter. 1t can be followed or not, just as the
SemblieS may desire, and notice is taken OF its
violation. II is regarded merely as a rule which
the exigencies OF the times have led the leaders OF
the order to abandon" MI Mcclure said: s'The
law passed at the Cleveland convention Is in
operative now, and this is the reason: As soon
as the edict to cease bOycottfng went forth from
Cleveland the capitalists OF the country took ad-
vantage OF our position and commenced an offen-
sive warfare upon us" MI. AyleswOrth said:
"Unscrupulous capitalists everywhere, seeing
that We had thrown aside the valuable weapon OF
the boycott seized IL at once and began using IL
against our members. At the Richmond cOnven-
ton that rule against boycotting was therefore
gagged and allowed to die a natural death, and It
hasn't been revived since"

SINGULAR RESULT OF REAL ESTATE SPECULATION u,
CHATTANOOGA.


A singular difficulty has arisen in Chattanooga,
Tenn, as the result OF the real-estate boom which
has prevailed for three months. Some time since
a syndicate OF capitalists purchased large tract
OF land almost In the center OF the city, called
Stone Fort, which, on account OF its rocky and
uneven condition, has been allowed to become
occupied by negro tenants, at least Two hundred
small houses having been put up for their Occu-
pancy. These two hundred families, since the new
purchase have been notified TO vacate this prop
erty at once, and they Will have to leave There is
not a vacant house in the city that they can get,
and Chattanooga is now confronted with the
problem OF what to do with two hundred families
who are turned out OF house and home. The pur-
chasers propose TO improve the property, level IL
on and make it available for business and resi-
dences. The poor people will have to get on dur
ing the coming week, and what to do with them
nobody knows. In several other portions OF the
city where property has heretofore been occupied
by poorer classes, and which property has passed
into new hands the tenants have also been ordered
OF to make room for Improvements. II is safe to
say that during the coming week, IL these notices
are insisted upon, there will be hundreds OF home
less families in Chattanooga, with no homes that
they can rent.

Slugging On Long Island.

Arlington Hall, Long Island City, was filled last
night with q crowd OF several hundred persons,
gathered to witness boxing exhibition. The
principal event was q ten-round bout between
Fred woods, OF Philadelphia, and Johnny Reagan,
OF New York The first seven rounds were very
tame, Reagan drawing first blood in the fourth
round. In the eighth, ninth, and tenth rounds
both men fought earnestly and scientifically.
Reagan did most OF the work, getting in some
heavy left-handers and out-w1nding Woods. The
the tenth round nearly caused q riot, one specta.
tor picking upa large pitcher and throwing IL at
Plummer. The disorder was 80 great that Capt.
Woods refused to allow the exhibition to proceed,
so the four-round set-tO announced between Jim
Glynn and Mike Bedan did not take place. Rea-
gans hacker challenged Woods TO hight Reagan To
q finish for 81, 600.
